Honestly, the one we've got now is kinda crappy...and I have the feeling it might turn away some people. If we get one of the experienced graphic designers here (eg. Fuzz, GBF) to do a new banner...it might help us a bit.

Classic Blue. Well, I just switched to the one that I made now...but I realize that I made font white when the textboxes are white too.

One of the websites I frequent does a monthly banner change, maybe we could try the same thing?

Okay... I'm pretty positive that it's Iron Man in "Zone"

I think it's Shawn Michaels in "Awesome"

But who is "Total"?

Awesome Lowrida =D We need more banners from everyone, show's different styles and diversity (Look at me with the big words)

It's Joker, 007, Maria and Ironman.. The colours were so bright they ruined my original picture, sometimes it goes from one idea and ends up something completely different..

anywhom, as long as i have time i'll make some more =)

We need to change the one for Classic Blue...that's the one I made the topic over.

I'd give it a go as well, but I don't have Photoshop anymore.

Oh wow you guys use that one? I put the new banners on the default zeta skin. I set up the classic blue skin for nostalgia.

EDIT- Okay, classic blue now has the new banners too. And I set up a new skin called "classic blue nostalgia" for the old timey banners.

How do we add the new banners? It'd make it easier on you Maniac aaand a surprise, instead of showing it here first. I can go into the theme settings but don't know where to add the banners.

Hey, why not? Guys, If you''ve got assistant privelages and you're not too scared of scripts, the script we're using is located in the "logo" section of the "edit theme" page. See where I've put all the image URLs seperated by commas in the brackets? Just add a comma after the last one and put the URL for the new image in quotes. We're currently using the script on Zeta, Classic Blue and Vox skins so it'd be good if you could add the new banner to all 3 of 'em (unless you only want it on one for whatever reason). If you need somewhere to upload, attachments are allowed on the assistants board. I'd recommend uploading JPG versions to keep file size down. And try not to make the images too big. I've re-sized a few you guys have posted here just so it all looks and fits better.

Of course if you're not keen on scripts, continue to post 'em here and I'll sort 'em.

^ Make it smaller and it's good to go.

Also, we need more video game related banners. There's a lot of wrestling poppin' up at the top of our site right now and it might give people the idea that we're just a wrestling forum.
